Good morning ladies........beautiful day here on Long Island. Yesterday I never had a chance to get online. Had a rough morning yesterday which would explain some of my newly discovered high BP. Getting ready for work by ironing my clothes, Bill leaves to head to the shop, Billy is in the shower, Katie is running the water upstairs, Billy is yelling...........no water pressure, a huge truck filled with vinyl siding and windows pulls up front, contractor shows, they need to move Billy's truck and trailer (which he or Bill can move but Billy is in the shower and Bill at the shop)..............school bus can not pass, garbage truck can not pass...........still trying to keep this garage project low key! All this before 8:00am. Got everything calmed, took Katie to school and then headed into my office. I ran around at lunch time covering checks and back to my office only to stay until 6:00. Long day, very long day yesterday. Thank goodness Katie went to a friends house after school and was staying for dinner. Went I went home I changed my clothes and headed to the grocery store for an order. Thank goodness Rob was home and he carried everything into the kitchen for me. Dinner was pot luck and easy to do. Billy needs a computer for his race car so we gave him our laptop. He ran to Best Buy and purchased a wireless modem so he can use the laptop in his room. The box says, installs in 10 minutes.....yeah right. What is with men and asking for outside help? Guess who got to call tech support at 11:01 last night? But it works and the young man now has an email and internet. Actually now that we have this it would be useful to all of us. Since for Christmas Katie is asking for a laptop (the green one by Dell) and I think we are going to get it for her.........he, he, he. Now onto today.......


Work day again but I hope things are just a little calmer this morning. I was up at 6:00 although there is no school for Rob or Katie. I grabbed a quiet shower, made some tea and while enjoying my morning cup did some typing for work. I am so over loaded there I needed to get this done in quiet and I figured now was the time. Just made a second cup of tea, and I am going to head upstairs to get dressed and make my bed. Have some breakfast and then go to the office. Katie is not riding Daniel today for a lesson so that means I do not have to head out to the east end of Long Island today. I bought a turkey breast yesterday and I think I will roast that for dinner. Hope today is quieter then yesterday, at home and at the office. No word yesterday from my doctors office regarding my blood work, maybe today? I have really been trying to pay attention to my food intake although I need to get back onto my WW program and make it work. Since Aunt Linda is away I have not walked but with the school schedule I am going to have to make it work. She will be back on Monday.............


I hope you all have a wonderful day. I wanted to respond to yesterdays posts but my mind forgot what I read before. Well I do remember a few things. Rhonda, is Rob really going into the Coast Guard? Hope your smokey smell goes away. How was your dad's day yesterday? Patty, you just cracked me up. Glad you got time off and enjoyed it, even though they drive you crazy. Susan, just another day or two of Miss Sunshine. Glad hubby's feet are better. Erin, sorry to read about your husbands asking for a "D", I hope you can work things out. Karen, good luck with the business move. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you! Everyone else please know I am thinking of you and sorry if I forgot to respond or mention something.

Good Morning,

An absolutely beautiful day here. The temperature is right around 60 and I just love it. Just wish I could be outside instead of sitting inside an office. But I guess that doesn't pay the bills!

I would love to be sitting on your porch Patty and man service-ahhhhh......!

Currently working with DH in locating his cell phone. He has an absolutely no clue where it is. We've called it and it's not in the house, or in his car, or at work. The only other thought is that he was driving the work van while their driver was on vacation and maybe that's where it is. He really needs to find it or I need to contact the cell phone company.

My boss is out for the next 2 days but that doesn't necessarily mean that peace and tranquility will rule! Sometimes not having him there creates more chaos trying to deal with things without him being around.

Workout is completed for the day. We're having eggplant zucchini pizza this evening. DH has a union meeting so I'm really not expecting he will participate in dinner. He's usually in a rush to get in and out the door. DD and I will enjoy it though. Otto and I will head out for our evening walk and feeling optomistic right now about finishing up the piles of laundry but of course I thought that last night too.

Thankfuls for the week-thankful for the return of beautiful weather, thankful for consistency in workouts and healthy eating. Thankful for my friends here on line. Thankful for home and family.

Better get a move on. Hope everyone has a great day!

Deb,

Hope you get answers from your blood work. Just a suggestion, if you get a chance call them. I've learned the hard way that sometimes you have to initiate that call!

Are they having you in for a repeat bp check? They had me in a few times for readings before they made a decision on medication.

Sounds like you are on overload. I do hope things calm down for you. Your co-worker really resigned via fax? No accounting for the way people think!

Susan I will call them this afternoon. The did not suggest a repeat BP but I want to ask them. I can monitor it myself since my MIL has a machine at home and there is one at Eckard Pharmacy that is free and close by. Come to think of it a few months back when Bill went they said his BP was high but they never did a recheck on him............now you got me thinking. Yes she resigned/quit by sending us a fax. She also still asked the boss if he would still represent her with her purchase of her house. Now this stupid girl (yes girls can be stupid too) still needs to go through an employement varification. I can tell you I aint lying if they call, so she better hope I do not answer the phone. Actually yesterday she had several calls and I told each one she quit. Some were business and some personal calls. As it is she is getting into the house on a shoe string..........I have my doubts if its going to fly.

We might have one reasonable electric bill before the stupid heating oil bills start arriving.

Hi, everyone! Patty, I had to laugh about that woman "borrowing" a car to pay a ticket. What are some people thinking?

Keep on keeping on!
